Removal of historic camper trees on the 2400 block of Gramercy Avenue
Torrance
Summary
Residents of a quiet Old Torrance cul-de-sac submitted a 26-signature petition urging the city to save four mature camper trees slated for removal over sidewalk damage. They say engineering fixes exist under the city's own Standard Plan T-402, and heard removal could happen as soon as next week.
